With the paint still looking and shining great, I've been working and upgrading more mechanical items than the paint right now. The 360 in the truck has a complete Magnum serpentine belt system on it (which has also been installed 20 years)with Dodge Sanden compressor and Dodge Denso alternator, so yesterday I installed new tensioner and serp belt. Also pulled the original 1969 2 core radiator(with dual electric fans) and installed a new 3 core aluminum radiator(for A-bodies). I also had to install new molded radiator hose's because they were also 20 years old and top one with new radiator moved to drivers side instead of center of top tank (1992 360 magnum Ramcharger/truck hose worked perfect). Then I made brackets for the condenser to mount to the core support instead of being zip tied through the fins with those push zip ties that mount tranny coolers to radiators. Already changed all the fluids, spark plugs, installed new Quick Fuel carb, Holley Blue pump, all 3 brake hose's, all 4 shocks and other little things. Once I dial it in for a worry free driver, then I'll do a little updating on the looks. Guys at work have already nick named it "Miss Piggy".....kinda fat-kinda low-kinda the same color....Ha, I still luv this truck......

The Scarebird kit for front disk brakes is relatively inexpensive and will get you better stopping power.

What size tires and rims front and rear are those?....getting ready to put tires and wheels on my boys '64 sweptline.

On my '64Sweptline I was able to fit 15 x 7s running 31-10.50x15 in front, and on the back a 15 x 8 running 32-11.50 x 15.

I wasn't going for the street look, with those tall tires.

I believe the wheels were American Racing white spoke.

The left front rubbed on the steering arm during left turns at full lock. There was no room for the 11.50s up front.

The rear tires fit exactly, I couldn't have gone any bigger. Less than 1" from tire to fender inner surface. But I did a lot of towing and hauling with that truck and the rears never rubbed.

Front tires are 28x7.50x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman and rears are 29x12.50x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman, pulled leaf springs front and rear to lower it, just don't remember how many leafs as I did it 20 years ago..
